6 verbatim mandatory provisions from 94-27.
Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. Check the order's own effective and rescission dates before relying on it. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • The standards of this Code shall not affect or preclude other more stringent standards required by law, by court order, or by direction of a law clerk's judge. • Law clerks shall not practice law in any federal, state, or local court, or undertake to perform legal services for any private client in return for remuneration. • This prohibition, however, shall not be construed to preclude the performance of routine legal work necessary to the management of the personal affairs of the law clerk or a member of the law clerk's family (spouse, mother, father, children, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and first cousins), so long as: -- 9 of 11 -- (1) Such work is done without compensation; • Notwithstanding the above, law clerks shall not receive any salary, or any supplementation of salary, as compensation for official services from any source other than the entity that funds their salary as a law clerk (i.e., State of Florida or Board of County Commission). -- 10 of 11 -- CANON 7 A LAW CLERK SHOULD REFRAIN FROM POLITICAL ACTIVITY Political Activity. • Law clerks may not be prohibited from engaging in partisan political activity during personal time, provided such activity is conducted entirely independent of their judges and without reference to their judges or their judges' offices. • EFFECTIVE DATE OF COMPLIANCE Persons to whom this Code becomes applicable should arrange their affairs as soon as reasonably possible to comply with it and should do so in any event within thirty days prior to the beginning of their clerkships.
The standards of this Code shall not affect or preclude other more stringent standards required by law, by court order, or by direction of a law clerk's judge.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: d566cf61db40adc09821bc6ec37cab9db22b4f3e013b33bcdd0cca66743f6fde (141253 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
The 17th Circuit's circuit-wide AI disclosure/certification mandate (Jan 2026, twice amended) was VACATED in its entirety effective June 15, 2026 by Chief Judge Phillips's AO 2026-19-Gen, expressly citing the statewide framework (AOSC26-12; Rule 2.515(d)(2), SC2026-0673). Several division procedure pages still cite the vacated order.
